5.1 SURROUND SETUP

The 5.1 configuration has been standardised
for surround sound applications, including
cinema, television and other consumer
applications.
The front three channels are intended to be
used for a conventional three-channel stereo
sound image, while the rear/side channels
are only intended for generating supporting
ambience, effects or 'room impression'. The
five channels are full-bandwidth, so they all
contain low frequencies.
The '.1' component is a dedicated low
frequency effects (LFE) channel, a separate
sub-bass channel with an upper limit
extending to a maximum of 120 Hz. The LFE
channel is not the "subwoofer channel" and it
is not intended for conveying the low
frequency component of the main channel
signals, but it is intended to be used for
special low frequency content that requires
greater sound pressure levels and headroom
than cannot be handled by the main
channels.
